Discussions about “conspiracy” generally involve a handful of subjects, one of the top five of which is “mind controlled assassins” and the MKULTRA project. MKULTRA encompassed numerous other projects including dozens of institutions, universities and programs designed to perfect the military (and now domestic) use of various types of psychological manipulation and conditioning intent on creating a Pavlovian slave, able to be programmed into completing various missions. One of the primary aspects of this strategy involves using both hypnosis and individuals with multiple personalities (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder, now Dissociative Identity Disorder). While in a trance state, or under various types of psychologically altered states using drugs, the person or personalities can be programmed with various key words used by the handler, and even at times without the individual or the personalities being aware of the events that transpired or the programming itself.

This sounds a bit outlandish to most, but I have unearthed some interesting references. Deniers and the ignorant harp that while it is well-known that MKULTRA was real, it was nothing but a limited series of experiments that ended with the Church Committee investigations that ended in 1975. During its inception in the early 1950s and up through the 1970s (and on into today) numerous films have included this theme with a striking accuracy: A Clockwork Orange, The Manchurian Candidate (two films), TheBourne films,Hide and Seek, Bond, Jacob’s Ladder, The Shining, The Prisoner, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Salt,The Avengers (both films of this title), Total Recall (the new one), Hanna, The Mechanic, The Ipcress File,Suckerpunch, Oblivion, and several others.

The names associated with the programs are Dr. Ewen Cameron, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, Dr. Jose Delgado, Dr. Jolyon West, Dr. George Estabrooks, and others. While this itself is easily tracked down in terms of the existence of the programs, what is lesser known are articles like Dr. George Estabrooks’ article from the April 1971 Science Digest, Hypnosis Comes of Age. Included in the article are some striking admissions, especially since the OSS, CIA and FBI utilized Estabrooks and his skills. The article mentions, first of all, Estabrooks’ claim of the use of secret couriers and keywords that function as the triggers in the operative:

“Communication in war is always a headache. Codes can be broken. A professional spy may or may not stay bought. Your own man may have unquestionable loyalty, but his judgment is always open to question.

The “hypnotic courier,” on the other hand, provides a unique solution. I was involved in preparing many subjects for this work during World War II. One successful case involved an Army Service Corps Captain whom we’ll call George Smith.

Captain Smith had undergone months of training. He was an excellent subject but did not realize it. I had removed from him, by post-hypnotic suggestion, all recollection of ever having been hypnotized.

First I had the Service Corps call the captain to Washington and tell him they needed a report of the mechanical equipment of Division X headquartered in Tokyo. Smith was ordered to leave by jet next morning, pick up the report and return at once. Consciously, that was all he knew, and it was the story he gave to his wife and friends.

Then I put him under deep hypnosis, and gave him — orally — a vital message to be delivered directly on his arrival in Japan to a certain colonel — let’s say his name was Brown — of military intelligence. Outside of myself, Colonel Brown was the only person who could hypnotize Captain Smith. This is “locking.” I performed it by saying to the hypnotized Captain: “Until further orders from me, only Colonel Brown and I can hypnotize you. We will use a signal phrase ‘the moon is clear.’ Whenever you hear this phrase from Brown or myself you will pass instantly into deep hypnosis.” When Captain Smith re-awakened, he had no conscious memory or what happened in trance. All that he was aware of was that he must head for Tokyo to pick up a division report.

On arrival there, Smith reported to Brown, who hypnotized him with the signal phrase. Under hypnosis, Smith delivered my message and received one to bring back. Awakened, he was given the division report and returned home by jet. There I hypnotized him once more with the signal phrase, and he spilled off Brown’s answer that had been dutifully tucked away in his unconscious mind.

The system is virtually foolproof. As exemplified by this case, the information was “locked” in Smith’s unconscious for retrieval by the only two people who knew the combination. The subject had no conscious memory of what happened, so could not spill the beans. No one else could hypnotize him even if they might know the signal phrase.”

Mind control victims could thus be placed in key positions with encoded information. But it gets more sinister: Estabrooks goes on to discuss the MPD/DID alter that could be programmed through a split in the psyche, while the other personality would have now knowledge. Estabrooks writes:

“The potential for military intelligence has been nightmarish. During World War II, I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine lieutenant I’ll call Jones. Under the watchful eye of Marine Intelligence I spilt his personality into Jones A and Jones B. Jones A, once a “normal” working Marine, became entirely different. He talked communist doctrine and meant it. He was welcomed enthusiastically by communist cells, was deliberately given a dishonorable discharge by the Corps (which was in on the plot) and became a car-carrying party member.

The joker was Jones B, the second personality, formerly apparent in the conscious Marine. Under hypnosis, this Jones had been carefully coached by suggestion. Jones B was the deeper personality, knew all the thoughts of Jones A, was a loyal American, and was “imprinted” to say nothing during conscious phases.

All I had to do was hypnotize the whole man, get in touch with Jones B, the loyal American, and I had a pipeline straight into the Communist camp. It worked beautifully for months with this subject, but the technique backfired. While there was no way for an enemy to expose Jones’ dual personality, they suspected it and played the same trick on us later.”

It’s important to remember that it is not just the US that was engaged in these studies: they were done at Tavistock in England, as well as by the Nazis and Soviets. The creation of mind-controlled assassins is not relegated to one “side.” In fact, one can trace the use of such basic mind control techniques back to ancient shamans and priests. Of particular note here are the South American and Mexican City peoples which actively used hallucinogens in their native rituals. Priests and shamans are documented using these techniques to manipulate the masses into the belief that they possessed godlike powers, and still do today. While even that may be known, what I find most striking by those who deny such ideas as Estabrooks describes is that defenders of the status quo often cite “mainstream” sources as a refutation of such ideas. Deniers can ponder this long and hard, since the DSMV, the so-called authoritative book on disorders itself cites Dr. Estabrooks’ above article on pg 814.
